A new one I finished last night. My brother gave me the 3/4” worm eaten Oak. 321 for the finish but I have a few more coats to put on it. Thanks for looking.

Found this pattern on Pinterest and really liked it, decided to cut it on a plaque that I had laying around. Stuck the pattern on top of the plastic wrap, figuring it would make removing the pattern a dream. That part went well. What I did not anticipate was the pattern bouncing while cutting because it was on the plastic, not the wood Thank goodness for tape and finger nails. Lesson learned, will use Press and Seal wrap next time AFTER I remove the plastic. Jeff

The weather warmed up enough for me to get out in the shed and get some scroling in. Finished of the ornament order 100pcs cut from 1/4" birch plywood left unfinished as requested. Wood spirt piece is a Steve good pattern made from 3/4" lumber. Torched the grain in the back part and clear coated. A wine bottle and glasses holder made from 1/2" plywood and clear coated not much or a scrollsaw project tho.

Made this little guitar pick shaped trinket box and thought about what about a few wooden picks. Here is the results. There made from different woods which o been told don't change the sound but the different thickness does.

i had a cracked 2" PVC elbow....now i have a pen, pencil, marker holder. ( "it's not stupid if it works" -Alec Steele" )

Well I made it back from Pennsylvania before the snow came. Back home in Georgia now. This is the pattern that Mahendra did for me. This was for my cousins 80th birthday party. He was trilled when he saw it. One of his brothers came in from Connecticut and the other one came in from S.C with me. They haven't seen each other in many years. They had a photographer there and she took tons of pictures of everyone and a bunch of the three brothers together. The pictures won't be on line for about 30 days she said but what I want to do is get one of the three brothers together and cut a portrait out of the three of them together and send one to each of them. I think they will be surprised. Now I just have to get Mahendra or one of the other pattern makers to make a pattern for me. I will keep you all up to date. .

This pattern was in Sheila Landry's mid-March newsletter. Showed it to the wife and she liked it, but with some changes. She did not the flourishes at the top or the stitching down either side, just the lettering and objects in the center. No problem with me (56 less cuts by my count), gotta love her. Used salvaged laminated maple from an old dresser for the plaque. Jeff

It says congratulations on your first post, they are only 13,461 posts too late. Marg

A few of the things that I have made in the last 2 months as a new scroller. The W was done by my 7 year old son with a just a little help from me to hold the piece down and make tight turns. Got the idea for the spiral from a couple of other designs I had have seen on here and other scroll saw sites. And being from Las Vegas have to support my Las Vegas Golden Knights.

Black & White Corian Scroll Saw Shell. This is my latest installment in the Scroll Saw Shell arena. Began this project approx 5 weeks ago. Took approximately 55 hour from start to finish. There were 6 wedges used which are reflected in one of the photos. These 6 wedges generated 110 segments. The size of the shell are, 10.5†wide at the mouth, 11†deep and 10†high. The stand is also made from the same material. This project has been entered into our local Orange County Fair which begins in July. This project has been a lot of fun and I am very pleased with the results. Thanks for looking. Ron

Pretty simple and easy...but perfect for my younger daughter the world traveler!

Nice work so far every one. I finally got a chance to participate in this challenge. I have had a couple of "Easter" items laying on my desk to do for a couple of weeks at least. The standing bunny inside of the egg is a free pattern from Steve Good's site. You can find the thread on the blog here: http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2014/04/part-three-of-toy-box-build.html or the direct link to the pattern here: http://www.stevedgood.com/easterbunnyegg.pdf - The Bunny candy dish is from Sheila Landry's Website here: http://www.sheilalandrydesigns.com/product/SLD272 The pattern costs $2.95. The site information says it is about a 5x5 finished piece but he's pretty small. I am thinking about making him bigger maybe for a bigger dish. The size "as is" would make a great little item to sit by plates at Easter dinner. It will hold about a small handful of M&Ms or something small like that I think. She shows it painted or left natural wood.

Better late than never. I'm back-filling in Trophies. So this is just the tip of the iceberg for folks who have been around SSV for awhile.

I use and old cardboard toilet roll tube stuck to a block of wood . beat that then. Roly

I just use an old soup can. Whatever works.

Okay, Thanks for all the advice. I decided to redo but instead of my pattern (because I didn't have a copy handy) I used Steve Good's pattern. The first two pictures of what I had done and the third is the redo. It still needs sanding. I will try the heat approach at some point but given that it was a piece of wood that had been re-purposed at least two other times, not so worried about saving it.

Here is a picture of the one in question. You have to look kinda close - the blue on blue letters don't stand out too well, but that's on purpose.

Had a customer that wanted a Dinosaur Bank for her 5 year old. This is what I came up with. Made from 5 layers of cabinet grade plywood, shaped and sanded then sealed with tung oil and then stained with a watered down acrylic paint to allow the grain to show through. Finished with shellac. The bank is ~14 inches tall and ~ 11 1/2 inches long and 3 3/4 inches wide. DW

of the 3 saws all are good just buy what you can afford. IKE

An old coffee cup suffices for me. Ray

I didn't know SSV was on FB. That is what I scroll through as I have breakfast. Post pictures there cause it is easier! Usually come here for answers because there is so much wisdom here! When I logged in today to see if there were answers to my "unglue" post, I also noticed the trophies - Thanks to whoever gave them to me. As someone mentioned above - I am not sure I deserve the lend a hand one. Others certainly have more experience than I do.

Recently in another forum the Native Art of the Pacific Northwest was being discussed and reminded me how much i enjoy that art form, so i did this Eagle .....Cut from 1/4 BB using a #65 drill bit and a FDUR #1 blade....after cutting the various pieces they were sprayed with rattle can paint.....Hope you like it.....Steve.

Dale is my name. my nickname came from riding two wheels for most of my life but as old age crept up on me I traded the two wheels for three wheels. My friends told Iwas riding an old mans motorcycle. Funny thing is a lot of them now have three wheelers too. Last year we sold the Harley trike and bought a Polaris Slingshot. Boys and there toys my wife says.

but didnt seem as much as the customer liked it. now off to get the other one ordered done now. i think they will compliment the "pups on a bench" she bought a bit ago. looks like i have to work on some picture takin abilities- i seems to have chopped off the top a bit.

I don't have room to put something like that on my wall LOL - but hey, if it works, who cares!

Another Easter project...Steve Good pattern

Hi Dan, What a great project you did there! It looks perfect! Thank you for posting, Bob

Thank you all for the kind comments, it's been a lot of fun learning how to scroll and make things for my kids. Both my kids like working on things in the garage with me with scrap wood and whatever else they can find.

Bet that was not real easy to cut, that thick, oak and lots of beautiful grain. You did a wonderful job of it.

I couldn't agree more Ray, Steve Good and his blog and free patterns does so much for the scroll saw hobby. I have only had occasion to email him a time or two. The one that "mattered" to me was for a pattern he had shown on his blog in a photo, but not shared the actual pattern (the volleyball trophy). He promptly replied and generously provided me the pattern when I emailed and asked if it was available. I just wish we had waited a few days to put my Seyco saw together until AFTER he had done his and put his video out on it, would have saved my hubby some tense moments and choice words. I don't know where I would have been in this hobby with out the Village, Steve's blog and patterns, and SSWC magazine and their forum.

fantastic job

very nice

the first one is the shape of Newfoundland Rob.

Great job

Great job I also have that pattern in my list to do now I seen it cut I gotta do it sooner rather than later Thanks for showing us

Sometimes you just have to chalk things up to a learning experience. We all have been there and will again for sure.

13,400 posts, that can only mean one thing You have been here a long time. What did you think I was going to say

Wow I know I'm in good company now

Think I prefer your version more. Great work Jeff. Marg

Good one!

Nice cutting i know a few ladies here that would like that piece. Thanks for sharing

Well done, love the colors you used. jim penquin

I started out years ago on the SSWC board.. never did really love the site but for a long while that was the only one I found and knew .. I'm there under a different name but I don't think I've posted on there in several years.. and rarely even look.. Also on Steve Goods forum... but again.. don't check in much.. and last time I tried I couldn't get logged on for some reason. and still can't get on it. The Facebook groups are fairly active.. but I don't partake in them very much..

I went through the same thing many years ago. Was told I had a bad cold. Three days later I was having sever problems breathing, got rushed and admitted to the hospital for pneumonia and asked why I didn't seek treatment before. Wife explained I seen a Dr 3 days prior and was told a bad cold. I had a 10 day stay to get better. Needless to say never seen him again. Praying your Mrs. recovers quickly and fully.

Two things: 1. Congrats on being able to drive. Gotta be a great felling. My wife said I have never been able to drive! 2. Got my "Awards" yesterday. Just assumed that an award & $2 will get you a cup of coffee. Seriously, the more postings by others has to be a good thing. jerry

Thanks for the information! I saw yesterday that I had two trophies! Didn’t know what it was about but is a nice thing Travis is doing. As a side bar this site has sure taken off as much as the other one has went downhill. They show 39,000 members but only 133 active. I feel we need both to promote the scroll saw hobby. Thanks Travis for all the work you put into this site!

Nice work thanks for sharing

bunny and egg. cherry wood. bunny sprayed with copper spray shown in bragging rights.

Thank you Mr. Rolf. I sincerely appreciate the compliment. Kinda gettin' off the main trail here, & I don't want anybody to holler about it, but, I grew up in the trucking business. My Grandfather had trucks, & my Father had 10 on the road. Dad & I maintained them when they come in, as well. Although I was bred for it, I started drivin' when I was 12 or 13 for Dad. At that time, we had sugar beets in this area. Dad always contracted at least 4 or 5 trucks to farmers to haul beets. Plus the 10 we had on the road. We were busier'n two tom cats in a gunny sack from the end of September til into February sometimes. Haulin' out of the field to the beet plant was my first education at drivin'. And spendin' all night doin' repairs to the beet trucks so they'd be ready to tear up the next day. And before ya ask, yes, I did miss numerous days of school. But, in those days, a family business, we did what we had to do. By the time I was 16, I was runnin' over the road for Dad. A lot of the time with Dad, followin' suit. Dad had bull racks & grain trailers at the time. One of our hottest runs was out of a feedlot here in Kansas to Queens, New York. 6 or 8 of us would load 1200 lb bulls & be in Queens, New York in about 2 1/2 days. That was my first run. My career went on from there. I did manage to graduate high school. And went right back to trucking. I drove OTR 30 years. Throughout my career, I hauled everything from eggs to explosives. The only wreck I had in that duration ended my career 6 years ago due to my health. I've been in every state but Alaska & Hawaii, & have been in some of Canada & Mexico. To earn the title of a professional driver takes a lot of miles, no accidents, several things. Not to sound conceited, but I was a professional driver. You respect others the same as they respect you. The truck becomes your home, & you protect it as such. My apologies for jumpin' off coarse here, but, Rolf, I sincerely appreciate your respons.
